PERTOBE is a beautiful dapple brown Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by H.; Phillips, Esq., Viotoria, in 1869. Got 'by Panic (imported),; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, ,byi The Premier (imported), out of Miss, Napier, by Delaprf (imported); Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by Wanderer (imported). —Sm Victoria Booh, Vol. 11., p. Jf%' Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs.. 61d. He was trained and' raced at 4, and again put to the stud. When he was 6 yrs. old, he was : purchased at a high price and imported to Viotoria, where he had two ■ more seasons' training: and racing. He proved himself the bestEnglish horse ever trained in Australia. Ha ran remarkably well, and won several! races, carrying heavy weights ; he was bothi speedy and staying, of a most docile and'; quiet temper, with" a wonderful constitution,, and legs like iron: Like his sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "he was< never sick, sorry, or lame," and retired fromi the turf without a blemish. At the stud,, although from being in an out-of-the-way place,. he has not been favored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners) out of half-bred ones than any horse in Viotoria, .and for general purposes his stock ia much esteemed. ■ '

• In the breeding of PERTOBfi there i* a combination of sotne excellent strains of blood,- such as the in that famous line through Defcsaoo, and which comes to him on the sides* of both sire and: dam. On his, sire : Panio's aide there is, as well as;his good Defence, blood, that of: the game. and, stout Venison, the, powerful and speedy Melbourne, und, most excellent of 'all,: that of. Pantaloon. " The value of- the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs,, notalon# as to its being speedy and staying, but alto to its ' training on,' and. being essentially ft ' running strain for although some others occasionally produce one or two first-class, animals, - few, if any, can compete with'. Pantaloon as to numbers.. A very grand re-, commendation of this strain of blood is, that; it mixes successfully with, and improves, aBK others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, a nn,/ other good turf , authorities agree with hbfiJ to the same... effect. On the Bide of; the dam of Pbrtobk there iB a lot of; good blood coming.in thrpugh The Premier, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was by/ Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (thei dam of the mare Beeswing, celebratodl not 'only; as., a first-class racer, bub also as the maternal ancestress of England's! very best family of racehorses at the presoufe time, viz., the Newminsters). The DelaprA blood is also very good indeed. Delaprtl's dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dam of the Derby winner, Pyrrhua the First. Mrs. Roberts, the great grand-dam of ..Pbbtobe, was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's blood is good," he being by Wandererj by Gohanna, by Mercury, by Eolipse. In Tasmania, so much is the Wanderer blood thought of, that they say " a bad one by Wandorar was., never known," and if they can trace a podi-. gree to a Wanderer mare, they consider that; quite sufficient.

As a siro of good, qound, and useful stock he has never had am equal in the Southern hemisphere. His victory i* the Launceston Champion Raoe> and tha> style in which he carried lOst. into scv-W----place in the Melbourne Cup, were perf?«is ■ ances of merit, and suffioient to satisfy the > most exacting that he was a racehorse of no mean order. The soundness of his stock haa become a proverb on the Australian Turf,, and the ancient Strop who won a race at; Launceston in February, is a living example.. Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as- Melbourne, another son at present per* forming at Queensland. The greatest of all steeplechasers is undoubtedly Lone Hand,, and he is also a son of Panio. Postboy*. Postman, Prodigious, and many other good*, cross country horses, too numerous to men*-; fcion, are also descendants of the son of Alarm." Terms: L 5 ss, payable Ist of January,. 1880.
